KNEE LIGAMENT TESTING DEVICE FOR MEASURING DRAWER AND ROTATIONAL LAXITY

摘要

A system and method for determining laxity in an anatomical joint. The system includes a force sensor that measures a force applied to an appendage that is coupled to a joint and a position sensor that determines the amount of movement of the appendage when the force is applied to the appendage. The system also includes a system controller that is connected to both the force sensor and the position sensor and allows communications between the sensors.
